To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, IIARRY 'BRENIZER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Omaha, in the county of Douglas and State of Nebraska, have invented a certain new and useful Adjustable Window-Shade Fixture, of which "the following is a specification.

This invention relates to improvements in 1 adjustable window-shade fixtures.

the slidin means thereof.

lhc object of the present invention is to improve the construction of window-shade fixtures and to provide a sim le, inexpensive and ellicient device adapte to support a window-shade, also the lace curtains; and it consists of the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts of which it is composed, whereby the window-shade may be vertically adjusted upon the said fixture and retained in anydesired elevation for ventilation or admission of light through the u per art of a window, all as will be hereina te1;cseribcd, and pointed out in the appended claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and wherein like characters of reference denote similar parts throughout the several views:- Figure 1, is an elevation of a curtain orwindow-sha'de fixture constructed in accordance with my invention and shown applied to a window-frame. Fig. 2,. is a side elevation thereof. Fig. 3, is an elevation in detail with portions of the fixture broken away showing the adjustable connection between Fig.4, is a plan view of the-adjustable connection with one end broken away. Fi 5, is a side elevation I in detail (some of the slides held in the guide.

Fig. 6, 'is' an elevation thereof. plan view showin one end of awindowshade or shade-r0 ler and a curtain pole mountedon the bracket end of the slide, the

' Referrin to' the. drawirigs, 1, designates the vertica guides whicha're secured to the opposite sides of a fwindow frame, and constructed' of suitable metal, and receiving the vertical movable slides2, which carry a'curmin or shade 3, and a curtain pole 4 and which are adapted to permit the curtain to be arranged at m elevation tor the purpose of ventilation an to arrange the light as desired. I The vertical guides are each provided with the vertical flanges 5, and the openings Fig. 7, is a- 6, arran ed at intervals and forming shoulders to be engaged by the teeth '7. of the slides, as clearly shown in Fig. 5, of the drawings, whereby the slides" are locked at desired adjustment. It will be observed that the slides 2 are each reduced in width as at 8 and are curled at their lower end to form a handle 9 and that the tooth 7 is formed by p slitting the reduced end 8 as clearly shown in Figs. 5 and. 6. The slides being reduced as at 8 forms the edges 10 which work in the ways 11 of the guides 1. The upper end of the slides are twisted or given a ialf turn as clearly shown in Figs. 5 and 6 to form a bracket 12 which is provided with the slot 13 for the reception of the journals of an ordinary spring-roller which carries thecurtam or shade 3, and further provided with the C shaped end 4 for carrying the ends of a curtain ole.
